Megatel-Homes

Working, diligently, ethically promoting, keeping communities in cleanliness, signs were clearly displayed, clean and orderly; spending my own funds to promote these two communities that were overpriced for the medium income in this city.  I maintained signage, open houses, realtor contacts and more. Competition was $1500 earnest money compared to this companies 3% earnest money; offers brought to the negotiating table were turned down; contracts were lost; builder was combative would not communicate with sales person; performed and reacted as a salesperson vx lead builder.

Community suggestions were not taken under advisement; model home was located interior of the community with no exposure after selling model too soon and relocating to inventory home inside community with no signage or marketing or promotion until late August when new model was completed.

Really rough schedule over long period of time working 6 days per week.  100% commission.  Company will challenge all of your commissions through contracts and stick you with any fees charges overages they can find - and they look for them.  Typical day is really boring until you hit weekends and if you're busy that's great.  Problem is that when you do get sales, the build out time is so long you wont see that money for a year (unless its an almost finished home as it is).  This company should simply build specs and sell specs as opposed to building for the customer.  Ownership isn't there for the customer.  Or the employee for that matter.  There is money to be made here however if the culture doesn't feel right be sure to have a backup plan as the company is not your typical company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nice office building located in Uptown.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They do not hold employees accountable for doing their job correctly.  Some people get preferential treatment from upper management which can cause a department to have to correct their work according.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic!  They do not like employees talking to one another.  There are cameras everywhere watching the employees and making sure they are not doing anything they aren't supposed to be doing.  Micro-managing at it's finest!  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Keep to yourself and don't talk to anyone, basically be a robot!

Its a typical home building business, however it requires quick turn around on production. These homes are a custom homes and require a keen eye to accomplish the task at hand, with so much detail and with a shortage of labor trades, 90 days to complete these homes is a hard goal, but obtainable.
Management of the owners is a bit rustic and can at times be very harsh. But if more trades could be available, production is an issue that could become more steady and more productive. This company is in its growing pain stage but if the owners would trust and allow the construction managers to manage, it could be a pleasant place to be employed.

Don’t Consider, Take Heed.  The worst company of my career.  No Real Diversity, Will Not Hire Qualified Professionals.  Once inside, learned that most employees are people off the street, no experience, no formal education or skills.  Facts. People quit constantly. No upward movement for advancement, managers have no input, buy in or motivation, managers  hold titles in name only.  One person runs the entire operations show and is a detriment. The company is Stagnant in all areas.  How do you go through approximately (may be more) 8 HR managers in 2 years?  Unbelievable.  Just take your knowledge, skills and abilities elsewhere.  Glad it’s over, too much unnecessary stress. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
They have a good backlog of new homes to build. Lots of work to do.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being watched by managers and management. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Do your work with minimum interaction with others and at end of day punch out and go home. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Do your work and be watched by management.

This place is a joke, the over work you and pay you as little as possible, megatel homes did not provide any protective supplies durning the pandemic and wouldn't even provide toilet paper for the models. There is absolutely no training or sales meeting at all. They control you by hanging 1.4% over your head minus the $180 per sale. They actually take $180 from each sale you make, making your finances more difficult. There is absolutely no appreciation. 

This was the worst place I ever worked. You will be micro-managed to death. You will be paid below the industry standard and you are required to work 6 days a week. Only 5 vacation days your first year. The owner is an ego- maniac and management is completely unreasonable. It is not worth the time you will spend away from your family to work here. Favorites are played and once they are done with you. They will fire you for no reason.

The owner needs to open his eyes!!!

The Sales Manager is never in the field, doesn't train, is afraid to hold anyone accountable and blames others for his ineptitude.

Construction managers are hardly ever on-site, and their supervisors only show up when Management decides to go visit sites.

Trades are a joke and people who hire them play favorites.  If the trades invite the right people to happy hour, they will get all the work and maybe even some extra benefits - TK!!!

The owners of this company are only interested in money for themselves. They rip off realtors, employees, and homebuyers. They force buyers to close on incomplete homes. They don't pay their trades and vendors. Con artist and need to be investigated.
While working for them I had to be dishonest with employees and buyers, which made me hate my job. That isn't the type of person I am.
